[Opinion] Stance -- what it is, what it ain't, and how ta get some.

There seems to be an implicit phenomenological philosophy (that I quite agree with) in this rather grandiose post. The two key points, in my mind, are (a) our perspective is embodied and hence shaped by the way we, more-or-less physically, dispose ourselves toward the world and any given features that we engage with. And (b) that the world we experience is result of an interaction between our 'stance' and the proclivities of the various phenomena at hand.

I am going in, and I will knock on the door of the debate. I have laid everything out and stood in a position of confronting the self. Does paganism have any value except to its followers? I have found no value in it; for what is the value of a bull before Ra? It is paganism that scatters the mind across millions of things and elevates them above the level of humans, and I see that there is nothing above humans except the throne of the one true God. Western practical magic is a mixture of satisfying the ego of demons and winning them over by equating the names of the true God with pagan names that they themselves worship. My intervention ends here. To think that you are right and then to despise and hate everyone who disagrees with you in theory and practice is the essence of hateful racism. Even if it is the racism of a minority that claims oppression by the majority, then practices it with utter insolence.

That a interesting concept of a monad archetype & spiritual way of being. But in simple terms it means your just aware of more than 1 level of reality idk why u used such a cluster of words to explain something semi basic...
